Sitting here trying to recall their name ~ the Hunt brothers tried to corner the market on silver and the bubble burst.

I love the way the Wiki article begins on their story: "Nelson Bunker Hunt (born February 22, 1926) is an American oil company executive. He is best known as a former billionaire whose fortune collapsed after he and his brother William Herbert Hunt tried but failed to corner the world market in silver.[1] He is also a successful thoroughbred horse breeder.

See that FORMER BILLIONAIRE!!
